“Peace and tranquility in beautiful surroundings!”



“We have just spent a week relaxing at Ty Cerrig and loved every minute. The scenery of the area was stunning, from empty beaches to autumn coloured forests and majestic mountains! Not to mention castles, waterfalls and steam trains - what more could you need? The cottage was cosy, comfortable and well equipped, with super walks literally on the doorstep. We would definitely return!”

“Little piece of heaven”



“My husband and I visited Ty Cerrig for our wedding anniversary/ my birthday in April. Previous reviews for this cottage were very good, and the fact it was reasonably priced and pet friendly influenced our decision ( the picture in Sykes brochure didn't do it justice)The access to this cottage is via a very steep and narrow lane, but don't be put off by this as there is relatively little traffic usage. The cottage itself although not luxurious was lovely and comfortable. A little low on headroom in places, but that just added to the character. The different levels would make it unsuitable for disabled use.
This cottage is all about the position. Glorious mountain views to the back and sea views to the front, the outside space is fantastic. There are a number of walks all around the cottage, making it a great place for exploring. Within a short driving distance are several dog friendly beaches. The village of Llanbedr is a mile walk from the cottage. Not much in the way of shops, but boasts a pub that does excellent bar meals and a carvery. The village butcher has beautiful reasonably priced Welsh meat for the barbecue. If you are looking for peace and quiet, where the only sounds you hear are birdsong then this is the cottage for you.
(we've booked another week in September!!)”

“wondrefull and peacefull”



“This is a wonderfull and very peacefull location. We enjoyed our week there as a base to explore North Wales, there is to much to see in 1 week. I drove over 800 miles to see some of the wondrefull sights.
The Cottage was very adequate for our needs, although it was 30c and beautifully sunshine during the day !! But it was very cold inside at night !!(Solid Slate walls) There are lot of heaters in the cottage, and we had to use some of them. (soft southerners) Some of the cottage needs to be updated. But it is very good value, and we loved it. Thank you for a wonderfull stay.”

“Fabulous”



“This cottage is exactly what we like - 'Get away from it all'! The cottage offers plenty of room for the family and is very quaint. The open fire and rocking chair provided lovely and calm evenings, the relaxing break that we needed. There are plenty of walks around the cottage for our four legged friends and beautiful horses to have a chat to in one of the fields near by. The owners of the cottage are extremely helpful and very friendly with all the local knowledge you need.
We will be going again soon!!”

“Beautiful Location, Cozy Cottage”



“Just returned from a week’s stay.
Bad points for us:
Had to give the owner a call as the chimney was clearly blocked as the smoke was not drawing out of the log burner, he said it had never been swept! This was worrying as you're supposed to get them swept every year as far as I’ve read because of the risk of chimney fire, this did ruin the first part of our holiday as I’m expecting a baby and didn't want to be in a smelly smokey room and it got cold on an evening so needed it going. Plus we chose this cottage as we wanted a fire! The owner quickly arranged for a very kind neighbour to come and sweep the chimney which sorted the problem.
The house is not as secluded as it looked in the pictures, we expected to have no neighbours but you are very close to the house next door.
We struggled with heating, as if all the storage heaters were turned on then it used £8/9 a day in electricity!!
The master bedroom was quite damp looking and smelling. It is to be expected from such an old property though. We did try sleeping in the double bed below the bunk bed but found it to be really cold in there and hard to heat, so just opened the windows to air out the damp.
That’s the negatives, I would say the price of the cottage is worth it even for the bad points.
Good points: the house is so well equipped, has everything you need and more, lovely kitchen with lots and lots of utensils etc.
The TV had a good signal for most Freeview channels.
The garden is well enclosed and our bouncing boxer never managed to escape. Great views from the lovely garden.
The house itself has so much character, the beams and stone walls are great.
What a great location, easy access to lots of things in the area, close to the coast, we visited a different beach every day, our dog had the time of his life!
Lovely friendly neighbours.
Really clean upon arrival, got towels, tea towels and a few essentials.
The Victoria pub down the road is reasonable and they are very friendly, you can take a dog into the back bar.
Over all had a great time, couple of warnings: unless you've got good legs don't walk down to Llanbedr, it's VERY steep on the way up!
Don't turn left out of the road the property is on and then head for a road that looks windy and bendy and 'fun', we nearly lost our clutch and took a few attempts to get up a hairpin uphill bend!! ;)”

“peaceful and relaxing”



“Comfy cottage with fabulous views from the dog friendly enclosed garden. Close to many attractions and beaches. We found the walk to the pub quite steep on the way home and we are quite keen walkers! But if you want peace and quiet this is a lovely place to stay.”

“Peace and tranquility in Llanbedr”



“This was our second stay at Ty Cerrig and on both occasions booking the cottage was simple and straightforward, made easier by friendly staff. Ty Cerrig is ideal for our needs although the large settee in the lounge is getting a bit tired,the rest of the cottage is well appointed. The log-burning stove was most welcome at nights. The enclosed garden is ideal for our dog and there are plenty of local walks for his exercise. We know the area very well, there are take-aways in Harlech and the local pub has a good extensive menu. I think the most important factor for me is the peace and quiet the location offers, surrounded by fabulous countryside”

“Excellent cottage in beautiful surroundings with many things to do at a stones throw.”

Mr Allen, Stockton-on-Tees, October 2014

“We liked the seclusion of the cottage being away from the road and not too near neighbours, the cottage itself being very cosy and homely. Also being near the beach/country side in a beautiful comfortable cottage.”

Mr Clark, Rochford, September 2014

“The location is very convenient for a very beautiful part of Wales. The property is old but for us this added to its charm. It is very well furnished and very comfy and cosy inside. it is bigger than the photos suggested!
It's situation is delightful - the sound of birdsong is the loudest thing you hear!!
One of our best ever holidays Thanks!!”

The Property

Llanbedr 1 mile. This single-storey cottage is situated in the Snowdonia National Park, above the village of Llanbedr, between the coast road and the Rhinog mountains. Carved out of a very ancient farm building, the cottage has an endearing, quirky charm, boasting roughly hewn beams, irregular white stone walls and an attractive woodburner in the sitting room. This is an ideal, cosy cottage retreat after a busy day of sightseeing, and the rear garden has a seating area ideal for dining alfresco. Walkers and nature lovers will struggle to find a more suitably-located holiday cottage for indulging their passion, and despite the away-from-it-all location, the village of Llanbedr is only a 15-minute walk away. The Victoria Inn pub is a great asset and serves meals all day, with the River Artro flowing beside it. For days out, explore the beautiful surrounding coastline, or discover the magnificent Snowdonia National Park. A lovely Llanbedr cottage, perfect for a restful break.

About the location

LLANBEDR

Harlech 3 miles; Barmouth 8 miles.

The pretty village of Llanbedr quietly nestles between The Rhinogs, part of the Snowdonia Mountains, and the stunning golden beaches of the North Wales coastline, whilst also being situated next to the swiftly-flowing River Artro. Boasting a mild climate due to its unusual positioning, and an exciting array of wildlife and birds, this charming village provides good local shops and an excellent pub. The small town of Harlech is just 3 miles away and boasts the World Heritage Site of Harlech Castle, a majestic 13th century stronghold, the most impressive of all those built in North Wales by Edward I. Popular with golfers due to its famous Royal St. David's course, Harlech also boasts an excellent variety of amenities including some good quality restaurants and the most magnificent six-mile long sandy beach, perfect for wonderful walks and family fun. Nearby Barmouth offers the amazing Panorama Walk along the beautiful Mawddach Estuary, providing breathtaking vistas, which were described by John Ruskin as “the most sublime view in Europe” and also a harbour from which you can catch a ferry to Fairbourne for a ride on the miniature railway, or a boat trip out to sea to try mackerel fishing. With the delights of Snowdonia National Park and beautiful Cardigan Bay to discover, this is a fantastic holiday location at any time of the year.
